New Release: The Huntress by Kate Quinn

I'm so excited to announce the launch of Kate Quinn's latest book, THE HUNTRESS. Repeatedly listed as one of the most anticipated reads of the year by outlets like Bookbub, Goodreads, and PopSugar, The Huntress is making a splash with great reviews from the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Marie Claire, Booklist, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, and many more. More exciting news: Kate's on tour this month all over the United States! Come out and see her at one of her events--she's a fun speaker!  

In the aftermath of war, the hunter becomes the hunted…





Bold, reckless Nina Markova grows up on the icy edge of Soviet Russia, dreaming of flight and fearing nothing. When the tide of war sweeps over her homeland, she gambles everything to join the infamous Night Witches, an all-female night bomber regiment wreaking havoc on Hitler’s eastern front. But when she is downed behind enemy lines and thrown across the path of a lethal Nazi murderess known as the Huntress, Nina must use all her wits to survive.


British war correspondent Ian Graham has witnessed the horrors of war from Omaha Beach to the Nuremberg Trials. He abandons journalism after the war to become a Nazi hunter, yet one target eludes him: the Huntress. Fierce, disciplined Ian must join forces with brazen, cocksure Nina, the only witness to escape the Huntress alive. But a shared secret could derail their mission, unless Ian and Nina force themselves to confront it.

Seventeen-year-old Jordan McBride grows up in post WWII Boston, determined despite family opposition to become a photographer. At first delighted when her long-widowed father brings home a fiancĂ©e, Jordan grows increasingly disquieted by the soft-spoken German widow who seems to be hiding something. Armed only with her camera and her wits, Jordan delves into her new stepmother’s past and slowly realizes there are mysteries buried deep in her family. But Jordan’s search for the truth may threaten all she holds dear.
